February 22nd is National Margarita Day… And we absolutely must celebrate! If you’re looking for the ultimate spot to celebrate National Margarita day in Dallas, we’ve got you covered!

Now, I wouldn’t consider myself an expert on margaritas, but I’ve certainly tasted my fair share of them and so many of them are from our favorite restaurants in Dallas!

There are so many Tex-Mex/Mexican/South American restaurants, in and around Dallas. You’d think it’d be easy to find the best margarita in Dallas, easily, but it’s not. But the ones on my list were worth the hunt.

The Rustic

When you looking for an easy going afternoon, The Rustic is the place to go. When you’re looking for a fun margarita that has a popsicle stuck in it, this is the place to go! On our first trip to The Rustic, we discovered they had Sangria popsicles stuck in a margarita… Let that sink in (pun totally intended), because these things are dang good!

Nico’s

This is a total hidden gem. Maybe a bit less than a gem, but it’s a great semi hole in the wall place. They have a list of margaritas that could challenge any one on a Dallas best margaritas list! Did I mention they have about 50 various flavors of margaritas? Something for everyone and they’re cheap!

E Bar Tex-Mex

This is probably one of the best, non-chain Mexican spots in Dallas. Their margarita is the perfect happy hour treat. They’re cheap and always taste good! What more could you ask for?

Mi Cocina

Well, well, well… While this little one may not be the normal idea of a margarita, being a swirl, Mi Cocina’s Mambo Taxi is not one to be skipped. We aren’t huge fans of Mi Cocina’s food, but we know most of Dallas is. However, we can always get down on a Mambo Taxi when we’re craving a margarita in Dallas! They’re rumored to have Everclear and a few other secret ingredients. Just remember, the majority of Mi Cocina’s will only allow you to purchase two… Get an Uber, because one is enough for even The Hulk.

Chuy’s

When I think of cheap margaritas at happy hour (and free queso too), I think of Chuy’s. $4 for a decent size margarita (between 5-7)? I can dig it. Their Prickly Pear is my favorite, and you really can’t beat the price at happy hour along with the free nacho bar they offer!

Gloria’s

Although pricey compared to other options, Gloria’s margaritas are easily some of the strongest, but best I’ve had. Their mango marg is pretty dang delectable.

Baja Grill

This one takes the cake. The first time I had one, okay it was really less than half of one, I thought I was getting dizzy, which is always what happens before a migraine comes on… Until I realized I was in the midst of a hard buzz. OFF OF HALF OF A MARGARITA! Take a look around this restaurant on any given day… Every. Single. Person. has a margarita… as Thomas says, “It’s like a margarita cult.” And until a fellow nanny mentioned that she was “one and done” with their margs, I thought I was just your typical light weight. I kid you not, try one of these, and you will see!

I’m always up for new places to sip a marg on a sunny day or any day! Where’s your favorite place to grab a margarita in Dallas?
It’s 5 o’clock somewhere!
